I have had Sleep Apnea for years. I have tried both cpap and bipap and neither one has worked. I am still trying to find out how to beat this.

Sleep disorders like sleep apnea are big business

Everybody know that the cost of health care over the
years has sky rocketed.Being sick,
especially having a disorder or illness can be very expensive.And that is certainly true when it comes to
sleep disorders like sleep apnea.Some
thirty years ago health issues like sleep disorders didn’t seem to get much
attention but now a more health conscious society understands the importance of
getting a good night’s sleep.One of the
most expensive and growing sleep disorders is sleep apnea.

Why sleep apnea?

Why has sleep apnea become such a leading problem
among the general population, young and old. As we have talked about before one
of the most common connections of sleep apnea is the air blockage of the throat
and what often causes that is fatty tissue which in turn comes about because of
being overweight. There are other
factors involved such as the shape of the face and the size of the tongue but
being overweight is definitely the main reason. Ironically losing weight will
certainly reduce the amount of apnea that you suffer with but it may not fix it
completely.

Sleep apnea equals big business!

According to MEDpagetoday the US is the largest
market for sleep apnea products followed byEurope and Asia. And the whole global market is expected to worth a
little under 20 billion by 2017. That is pretty big business!
